I have a 99 accord with the 2.3l and a 5 speed and my wife won't drive it. I figured I'd answer the "why would you do that" question first. I would like to trade my tranny and all the necessary parts to convert your automatic into a 5 speed in return for all the necessary parts to convert my 5 speed into an automatic. Oh by the way in Oregon. I'm not driving across the country for a transmission.

 

I have a better idea. I will meet you in Des Moines, Iowa and we will just swap cars.
I will be leaving from Western NY. (sarcasm)
It would be cheaper than a transmission SWAP! and no troubleshooting, everything already works!

 

OUI-OuI..ouiiiiii
That was useless...

 

Are there no salvage yards in Oregon? If it is a money thing you could sell the 5 speed tranny to recover some of the money for an automatic
